There is also a separate link for analyses published from July 2002 to December 2003 and another for yet earlier pieces, primarily related to oil development in southern Sudan and pre-July 2002 stages of the peace process involving the National Islamic Front regime in Khartoum and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A).

There are also links to a number of Reeves' formal publications in newspapers, news magazines, academic journals, and human rights publications, as well as the texts of his Congressional testimony. Finally, a complete list of publications, testimony, and academic presentations is also linked, as is a grouping of profiles of his work.

Humanitarian Efforts in Darfur Face Escalating War by Khartoum

Posted by: ereeves on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 - 09:05 PM

These efforts are also meant to deter the ICC from issuing an arrest warrant for National Islamic Front regime head Omar al-Bashir.
